Chester County, North Carolina, is scheduled to hold its first data center workshop on Monday evening. This workshop follows the Chester County Council's unanimous decision in July to approve a six-month moratorium on new data center development within the county. The purpose of this pause is to allow local leaders to educate the public on data centers, including the potential economic benefits they could bring to the area.

Similar measures have been enacted in nearby regions. York County leaders in South Carolina passed a nine-month pause on new data center projects in July, and Charlotte city leaders in North Carolina unanimously approved a 150-day moratorium on data centers in June. The Chester County workshop is set to begin at 6 p.m.
